Coloured bath resurfacing at your home in South Chingford

We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, with no new plumbing or tiling. Most suites take one or two days. If you are dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a day or two, depending on how many items. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The room is protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean, degrease and repair any chips.
  3. We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new finish in white or your chosen colour.
  5. We leave everything to cure, usually until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

What affects the price in South Chingford

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the suite, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a repair cannot fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • The inside of a toilet bowl, unless we’ve agreed it will last
  • Items cracked right through
  • Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Coloured basins
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Coloured shower trays
  • Whole bathroom suites

Landlord and trade work in South Chingford

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one means a plumber, a tiler and new taps. Resurfacing turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Your questions about coloured bath resurfacing in South Chingford

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

What about the toilet?

Talk to us first. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we’ll tell you what will last.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

When to call us in South Chingford

  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom

What your quote should include

  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether they match the colour on site
